07' TL-S steering question

Ok so I just drove this 07' TL-S and the steering wheel is like crazy stiff!! I mean this thing is like hard to turn almost like it's out of power steering fluid. Is this normal or what?

TL-"Sport"

thats the sporty steering wheel.
it should lighten up when you give it gas.

Yes, this has been discussed a lot...stiffer sport suspension...helps to prevent torque steer. Similar to the way a steering dampener works on a motorcycle I guess.

See I figured it was because it's a fwd. I just know as I was turning a corner or backing up it's stiff as hell! And I'm use to sport cars, I mean this thing was even stuffer than my GTR.

Yep, between the steering and the power, sometimes I feel like I'm driving a wild stallion.

Yeah I'm sure I'll get use to it. I've just never drove a car that was that stiff. Changing the PSFluid won't change anything?
